Add a new "builder" capability to trigger Nix builds on a dedicated
build host via NATS messaging. This allows pre-building NixOS
configurations before deployment.
New components:
- Builder mode: subscribes to build.<repo>.* subjects, executes nix build
- Build CLI command: triggers builds with progress tracking
- MCP build tool: available with --enable-builds flag
- Builder metrics: tracks build success/failure per repo and host
- NixOS module: services.homelab-deploy.builder
The builder uses a YAML config file to define allowed repositories
with their URLs and default branches. Builds can target all hosts
or specific hosts, with real-time progress updates.

The CLI was incorrectly reporting "some deployments failed" even when
deployments succeeded. This was because AllSucceeded() checked if every
response had StatusCompleted, but the Responses slice contains all
messages including intermediate ones like "started". Since started !=
completed, it returned false.
Now AllSucceeded() only examines final responses (using IsFinal()) and
checks that each host's final status is completed.

- Add nixos-rebuild to listener service PATH in NixOS module
- Fix CLI deploy command hanging after receiving final status by properly
tracking lastResponse time and exiting when all hosts have responded

Implement the complete homelab-deploy system with three operational modes:
- Listener mode: Runs on NixOS hosts as a systemd service, subscribes to
NATS subjects with configurable templates, executes nixos-rebuild on
deployment requests with concurrency control
- MCP mode: MCP server exposing deploy, deploy_admin, and list_hosts
tools for AI assistants with tiered access control
- CLI mode: Manual deployment commands with subject alias support via
environment variables
Key components:
- internal/messages: Request/response types with validation
- internal/nats: Client wrapper with NKey authentication
- internal/deploy: Executor with timeout and lock for concurrency
- internal/listener: Subject template expansion and request handling
- internal/cli: Deploy logic with alias resolution
- internal/mcp: MCP server with mcp-go integration
- nixos/module.nix: NixOS module with hardened systemd service
